Chatfield will be a well-studied town now that its city council has voted to proceed with both a storm water study and a multi-use path study through WSB & Associates, the engineering firm employed by the city.

“I Love to Read Month was celebrated at the elementary. Our students do volumes of reading throughout the school year, but this is a fun way to celebrate and reward them for all their hard work,” explained Chatfield Elementary School’s reading specialist, Elissa Johnsrud. “The challenge was 100 steps, or 25 hours of reading. It was a big goal, but our students did a great job rising to the challenge. If they made 100 steps, they got to tape Mr. Ihrke to the wall with a piece of duct tape.

“Mine is that I’m just a doer…I get it done,” said Fillmore County District 1 commissioner write-in candidate Mitch Lentz, speaking to a gathering at the Spring Valley Public Library this past Thursday evening about what is his working style and how he addresses problems with which he must deal.

Celebrating the importance of the past may well enrich the future of the Chatfield Public Library. Staff and patrons gathered in celebration of the library’s 100th year on Sunday, Feb. 15, at a birthday party open house. Guests enjoyed food and musical entertainment before a 2 p.m. program.
